Sobriety in everyday struggle. I’ve been in and out of active addiction for close to 20 years. I grew up in a house full of attics and cooks. All I’ve ever known since I was eight years old was drugs and drug lifestyle. I had a few years where everything was sober and it was the most painful few years I’ve had yet why is sobriety so hard when addiction is so easy why is living sobriety so difficult when living in active addiction feels so free….

Pharmaceuticals terrify me

What is a good place to start with this?
I’ve tried them in the past, my bipolar personality disorder is nearly impossible to control with pharmaceuticals. If anything, it makes it worse.
I’m not trying to sound difficult or making excuses. I’ve tried them in the past and it always ended terribly for me.

From 8 to 16 I grew up in a cook house. Was an addic from 11 till December 2024. Had a lil fun for new years and almost died literally. I want nothing but progress 2025 and I’m determined! But sobriety is absolutely terrifying after growing in active addiction. I’ve been an active addict literally my entire life. Idk any different. I had three years sober in the mix but relapsed because sober life was a nightmare atm. Which is why it scares me now! I’m going day buy day. I want a new life. So I’m here asking questions and getting insights along the way.
